HARRINGTON
(Charles Stanhope, 1753-1829, M.P., General and Diplomat, from 1779 3rd Earl)
Autograph Letter Signed to C. Upton, his agent at Derby,
saying that the present occupier of New Hall Farm at Gawsworth "is a drunken idle Fellow, & has no one requisite to a Farmer but money which is rather a scarse commodity in that part of the World", so that "your idea of arranging that farm seems the best, viz. to divide it", he comments that "People in that part seem to go a round about way in asking for things ... [Robinson] desired me ... to lett Mr Tickell have the Fields (& not Himself) ... Mr Tickell lets him occupy his lands in his absence so it will probably come to the same thing", he does not find any lowering of rents "in England as yet ... In a bad year it may perhaps be now & then necessary to throw back something to a distressed & industrious Tenant", his own "expences must be curtailed ... by us who from being over-housed &c are called on to contribute so largely to the publick Revenue", and he will send "a memorandum" about carrying on "my Plantations at Gawsworth on a smaller scale", 3 sides 4to., address on fourth side, London, 22nd December
with loss of two letters on opening seal (easily supplied)

Autograph Letter Signed to C. Upton, his agent at Derby,
saying "in regard to the Marble Quarry at Billinton Hill", that he has "every where ... seen such a quantity of very fine articles manufactured from the product of it ... that Mr. Brown must have had a very good bargain", and not to reduce the rent, to help with letting "the new Hall farm" (at Gawsworth) he encloses a memorandum [not present] of 1783 "of the probable rise on the expiration of leases" of the estate in Cheshire, he has "a general wish ... of letting the labourers who are deserving of it have from 3 to four Acres of land near their Cottages" as "the best means of relieving the poor", having always observed "such pieces ... to be kept in the best order ... sufficient to keap a cow & to supply them with Potatoes, but no more ... the Farmers are apt to look with jealousy on these small Renters, but as the latter are less likely to be burthensome to the Parrish, the others gain in this respect, as well as ... the community", he also wishes "never to lease ... for ... longer ... than one year any piece of Bog, or uncultivated land, except on the positive condition ... of ... being improved", 3 sides 4to., address on fourth side, London, 4th December
